The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! The Steeler Nation can rest easy now that Big Ben and new offensive coordinator Todd Haley finally met today according to Post Gazette’s Ed Bouchette via twitter: @EdBouchette News many have waited for: Ben & #steelers new OC Todd Haley finally met, sat down and talked.
It’s been nothing short of amazing how much media attention this whole insignificant saga has gotten since Haley was formally introduced at a press conference earlier this month. Twitter, Facebook, the water cooler, the line at the grocery store, everybody and their brother has been wondering when it would happen. You couldn’t go a day without somebody talking about it.


say in an interview with the
major issue with Todd Haley. I honestly just don’t see it being that much of a problem. It seems like every time something happens with the offense everyone thinks Ben is going to throw a fit and try to get his own way. He is used to things being done a particular way yes,and now they are changing, it doesn’t mean he’s not going to be able to adapt. He’s not a rookie anymore and realizes what it means to be a team player. It will take time; especially in game situations where he’s used to doing things a certain way and now he’ll be asked to do them another. There will be growing pains inevitably but that’s to be expected. He is a professional athlete and there’s no reason to think he will do anything other than compete to the best of his abilities. Roethlisberger’s maturity in recent years will serve him well as he adjusts to the changes that Haley will throw at him.
. Just when you thought Mike Tomlin was dragging his feet in finding Bruce Arians’ replacement, the team found their man in Haley. Rumors were swirling that they were possibly waiting for Kirby Wilson to recover, everybody was wondering when something would happen, well it happened on Monday afternoon. From what we understand, Tomlin also talked to former Raiders Head Coach Hue Jackson over the weekend but Haley was offered the job and accepted.
